pognivet 151 Posted July 25, 2016 Whenever I used the 3D editor it works fine for a few minutes but then my screen goes black. My monitor says its disconnected and my keyboard won't work at all. If I hit capslock or numlock the light won't turn on. Totally locked up. Makes it so I can't use the editor at all. Whenever I manage to get in the game and play it works fine for about 30 minutes to an hour and then it crashes with "0x00000001 UNABLE_TO_INIT_DXGI". Here's the log thing it spat out: ---------------------- Process exit ---------------------- Exit code: 0x00000001 - UNABLE_TO_INIT_DXGI Running time: 00:38:05.4547205 ---------------------- System information ---------------------- Date: 2016-07-25 07:47:47 / 2016-07-25 00:47:47 -07 Current dir: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Arma 3 Command line: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Arma 3\arma3launcher.exe" CLR version: 4.0.30319.42000 OS Version: 6.1.7601.65536 (Microsoft Windows NT 6.1.7601 Service Pack 1) OS 64 bit: True Process 64 bit: False Culture: en-US UI Culture: en-US 0:43:18 DX11 error : buffer Map failed : DXGI_ERROR_DEVICE_REMOVED 0:43:18 DX11 - device removed - reason: DXGI_ERROR_DEVICE_HUNG 0:43:18 DX11 error : buffer Map failed : DXGI_ERROR_DEVICE_REMOVED 0:43:18 DX11 - device removed - reason: DXGI_ERROR_DEVICE_HUNG 0:43:18 Virtual memory total 4095 MB (4294836224 B) 0:43:18 Virtual memory free 1550 MB (1625542656 B) 0:43:18 Physical memory free 9047 MB (9486639104 B) 0:43:18 Page file free 21742 MB (22798237696 B) 0:43:18 Process working set 1932 MB (2025893888 B) 0:43:18 Process page file used 2269 MB (2380206080 B) 0:43:18 Longest free VM region: 1414201344 B 0:43:18 VM busy 2686701568 B (reserved 156721152 B, committed 2529980416 B, mapped 65540096 B), free 1608134656 B 0:43:18 Small mapped regions: 24, size 106496 B 0:43:18 VID: dedicated: 2086338560, shared 2147807232, system: 0, max: 1771765760, used: 1640243200 ErrorMessage: DX11 error : buffer Map failed : DXGI_ERROR_DEVICE_REMOVED Anyone know what might be causing this and how to fix it?

Jackal326 1181 Posted July 25, 2016 I had a similar issue after a messed-up GFX driver install that I had attempted to roll back to a previous version (which messed it up even more). Try re-installing your GFX card drivers and/or updating to the latest version. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Try re-installing your GFX card drivers and/or updating to the latest version. I did that recently. I did a total clean install of every graphics and related driver on my system. Doesn't seem to make a difference. Also my graphics card is not dying or broken or malfunctioning. It is perfectly fine. It works without any problems in every game that I play except Arma 3. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
